===GAC Early Warnings===
===GAC Early Warnings===
Google was warned by [[ICANN]]'s [[GAC|Governmental Advisory Committee]] (GAC), regarding 4 of its applications, for [[.cloud]], [[.app]], [[.search]], and [[.blog]]. All 4 warnings came from the Australian GAC representative, and [[GAC]] Chair, [[Heather Dryden]]. She issued the most warning of any representative, and warned every applicant that had applied for a generic term to be used exclusively by the applicant, arguing that this inhibits competition on the Internet and is not in the public's interest. All of Googles warnings were warned for this reason, and it was warned far fewer times than its major competitors, such as [[Amazon]].<ref>http://www.tldh.org/2012/11/icann-prioriisation-draw/ ICANN Prioritization Draw, TLDH.org]Retrieved 1 Dec 2012</ref><ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/GAC+Early+Warnings GAC Early Warnings, GACweb.ICANN.org] Retrieved 1 Dec 2012</ref>

===Trade Association===
During a special ICANN session held in January 2013 in Amsterdam, [[Google]] supported and facilitated an parallel working session outside of the ICANN meeting to discuss the possibility of creating a New gLTD Trade Association that could spread consumer awareness and provide business advocacy for New TLDs. The meeting was the first stage in creating such a body and preliminary discussions included funding sources, membership requirements, and universal TLD acceptance issues.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/11696-google-backing-new-gtld-trade-assocation Google Backing New gTLD Trade Association, DomainIncite.com]Published & Retrieved 24 Jan 2013</ref>
